tigerwoodKhorns Posted October 1, 2014 Share Posted October 1, 2014 (edited) I like the chair, from the back, it looks like it matches Peg and Al Bundy's couch. Edited October 1, 2014 by tigerwoodKhorns 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Moderators dtel Posted October 1, 2014 Moderators Share Posted October 1, 2014 (edited) Going to go out and just say it, what a clown......... All of that and not even room for another person to sit, not one friend of partner who may want to share ? Wires lifted by wooden blocks, your own wires are no good touching the carpet George ? A turntable that looks like something broken off the mars shuttle and a Lp that's warped and moving up and down. And be sure to hold the dog for the video and close your eyes and think how impressed you are. SORRY I feel better now, this is what I get for reading those stupid websites with reviewers pushing BS "improvements" like $40 receptacles and special cover plates, oil rubbed rosewood wire lifters, if your setup is to the point that this is your last improvement, congratulations, but I need to stay away from this level of silliness. Anyway he obviously needs more lifters there sagging to much in between, it will create lulls in the signal, only makes sense really, you would think George would know that ? Edit............thought someone would have shot me in the back side for this by now........ Edited October 1, 2014 by dtel 6 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Edit............thought someone would have shot me in the back side for this by now........ Oh they're loading their high price oxygen free Monster bullets into their carbon fiber high performance low harmonic distortion gun. They are making sure that at no time static from the carpet interferes with the signal and clarity of the shot. It takes time to fire this shot into your backside. And now without further ado.... wait for it... 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

muel Posted October 1, 2014 Share Posted October 1, 2014 Perhaps they are trying to figure out how to load their Zerostats ? 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Moderators dtel Posted October 1, 2014 Moderators Share Posted October 1, 2014 And now without further ado.... wait for it... Well that didn't hurt, guess my wife has toughened it up over the years with all her shots ? I apologize, I had no idea about that distortions gun , I'm just old time I guess. It is very nice equipment it just get's me going when I see things like cable lifts and a fancy turntable playing a warped record. 40 years ago I kept my Lp's in old wooden crates like milk crates and they were straighter than that. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Shakeydeal Posted October 1, 2014 Share Posted October 1, 2014 For all the naysayers...... Don't knock tweeks until you try them. Everything makes a difference. The question is if you can hear it in your system, and whether or not it is cost beneficial. Let your ears tell you, not graphs and charts or objectivist dogma. And although I don't care for his choice of music, I would take that Spotheim turntable any day of the week. Shakey Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
